First black 'James Bond' interracially married

Posted by Ria, 20 Sep 15

"I am officially the only person on planet Earth who can legitimately say, 'I am the new James Bond' – even saying that name is the cinematic equivalent of doing the ‘to be or not to be’ speech.", said British actor David Oyelowo, after being asked by the Ian Fleming estate to voice the secret agent in the newly commissioned Bond novel 'Trigger Mortis' by Anthony Horowitz.

In real life, Oyelowo got married to English actress Jessica Oyelowo in 1998. The couple have four children.

Oyelowo has faced racism before when playing Shakespeare’s Henry VI, which made him the first black actor to play an English king. He received tonnes of hate mail which he had to ask his agent to filter. This was over 10 years ago but it was the "How dare you enter a realm that is not yours to enter?" kind of hate mail, he said.

I am sorry but it is going to weird to see this guy play James Bond. I can not believe he actually got the role over Iris Elba who would make a more believable James Bond. This guy is short and not very attractive. I only reason I can see that he got the role is because he was recently in two hit movies. Twelve years a slave and Selma. He is a great actor but not James Bond material. James Bond is sexy this guy is no where near sexy. Now Idris Elba is sexy and James Bond material

Chiwetela Ojiofor was the lead character in Twelve Years a Slave. David Oyelowo is "Voicing" the character, James Bond in the new novel. Meaning he'll be reading as Bond in a recorded version of the book. I'm not sure why 3 out of the 4 people who commented on this article are upset. Here's hoping we all read the same article!

Coaching Testimonial

"My online love inspiration angel"

To be honest, in the beginning, I thought it would be a waste of time.
But since I've never seen a similar service in any other dating site, I decided to give it a try.

I always "thought" my profile was on point and I did not need any help to correct my page.
I always had in my profile if someone is not attracted to my profile, then that's "their" loss.

BOY WAS I WRONG!!

I will never forget my first time using the Coaching Service I was introduced to my personal Dating Coach.
Let me put it this way, if it was not for her I would have given up long time ago (even though I'm a new member).

She taught me so many things and gave me good advice, I did not want to stop chatting with her at all.

She opened my eyes to many possibilities when finding love.
She is definitely an inspiration and I appreciate a whole lot.
She is more than a Dating Coach to me; she is more of a close friend/guide to me.
She is definitely my "online love-inspiration angel".
